Contraindications to colonics
Contraindications for colonics could prevent us from treating you. If any of these apply to you, we are not able to treat you unless you have a written prescription from an MD or ND.
Please call us, or email us if you need to discuss alternatives.
Reasons or conditions that could prevent me from booking a colonic
- Cancer of the colon or GI (gastrointestinal) tract
- Acute abdominal pain (please call us to clarify)
- Recent history of GI or rectal bleeding
- Congestive heart failure
- Uncontrolled hypertension
- History of seizures
- Carcinoma of the rectum
- Abdominal surgery (please call us to clarify)
- Intestinal perforation
- Abdominal hernia
- Recent colon or rectal surgery
- Diverticulitis
- Recent heart attack
- Vascular aneurism
- Renal insufficiency
- Epilepsy or psychoses
- Severe hemorrhoids
- Liver Cirrhosis
- Fissures or fistula
- Pregnancy
- Acute Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis disease
- Rectal or abdominal tumors
- Anusitis
If you have any of the above, you may still be eligible to receive a colonic once symptoms have subsided or been eliminated. In support of, or as an alternative, massage, infrared sauna, or lymphatic drainage therapy can be helpful if you struggle to eliminate.
Check in with Cassandra if you have questions about LDM (Lymphatic Drainage massage) as an option to our other drainage services.
